EWN reports that the SA Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) on Friday called on all public servants to prepare for a wage strike.
Rebuffing a 3% wage hike as well as the state’s offer of a non-pensionable gratuity, the unions are demanding an 8% increase. Saftu said accepting the offer would mean workers would have lost real increases to their wages and pensions for three consecutive years since 2020. Treasury has been under pressure to cut government’s wage bill. Saftu said the cuts would result in police officers remaining understaffed with broken cars.
